Background and composition


G-Eazy has collaborated with Chris Brown twice before "Provide" was released, the first time on G-Eazy's 2015 single "Drifting" and the second time on Brown's 2019 single "Wobble Up", with additional features from Canadian rapper and singer Tory Lanez and American rapper and singer Nicki Minaj, respectively. However, it serves as the first collaboration between G-Eazy and Mark Morrison and the first collaboration between Brown and Morrison. The song also samples Morrison's 1996 single "Return of the Mack", from his debut studio album of the same name.[3]


Release and promotion


On February 1, 2021, G-Eazy revealed the collaboration between himself and Chris Brown that would be released that same week through an Instagram post.[4] The following day, the cover art for the song was revealed, and that also revealed that Mark Morrison would be a part of the collaboration and then confirmed the release date with a comment on his own post.[5] Finally, two days before the song was released, he revealed a small clip of the accompanying visuals.[6]


Music video


The official music video for the song premiered alongside its release on February 5, 2021.[7] It was directed by Edgar Esteves and shot in Los Angeles, California.[8] It contains a large house party that shows them in the company of women and dancing. [9]


Critical reception


Brandon Caldwell from HipHopDX claimed that the video shows G-Eazy "wooing a woman he met at a burger stop, taking her on a shopping spree in a send-up to the '90s coming of age comedy Clueless" and Chris Brown "being one of the main stars of the party, going from inside to the front yard to roof and more".[9]
